About

I am a Luxembourg-born English/Portuguese Architectural Designer (filmmaker, and musician). Recently awarded a first class degree with honors, and the portfolio prize in Architecture BSc at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, I am a young, highly conscientious interdisciplinary architectural practitioner in pursuit of pastures new. Equipped with an unusually eclectic repertoire, and unflagging curiosity; I am more than eager to inaugurate my as of yet nascent professional career

An Ode to apollo

‘An Ode to Apollo’ is a centre for research in acoustics and musical production, platforming both creative and scientific studies of sound. In defiance of the unrelenting roar of the neighbouring elevated-railway, the facility is a prototype in how we might occupy such acoustically-challenged pockets of the built environment. Contained within this architecture of attenuation, a series of inhabitable music chambers celebrate and amplify the weird and wonderful dynamics of sound and space.
